Plantar Fasciitis?
Your Calves Might Be the Real Culprit… 👀
Did you know that heel pain doesn’t always start in your heel?
👉 Plantar fasciitis often links back to tight or overloaded calf muscles.
Here’s why:
Your calves connect to your Achilles tendon… which then connects into the plantar fascia under your foot. When the calves are tight or fatigued, they tug on that chain, creating extra strain through the sole of the foot.
Over time? 💥 Cue stabbing heel pain, morning soreness, and that “ouch with every step” feeling.
Common signs it might be calf-related:
• Pain first thing in the morning
• Tight ankles
• Sore heels after standing or walking
• Pain after exercise
• One foot worse than the other
What can help?
✔️ Targeted calf release
✔️ Foot & ankle work
✔️ Mobility and strengthening
✔️ Load management
✔️ Treatment that looks at the whole chain, not just the sore spot
At Correct Body Mechanics, we don’t just chase symptoms… we hunt down the cause. 🕵️♂️🦶
